The Instituto de Microelectrónica de Sevilla (IMSE-CNM – Seville Institute of Microelectronics) is a mixed R & D & I center run by the Spanish State Agency for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the University of Seville. Together with its counterparts in Barcelona and Madrid, it forms part of the Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica (National Center for Microelectronics).

Working in the area of Sciences and Physical Technologies, one of the eight areas into which the CSIC organizes its research activity, the Institute’s principal area of expertise is the design and testing of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits in CMOS technology, and the use of such circuits in different application contexts such as radiofrequency, micro-systems or data conversion.

The University of Seville is a public higher education institution dedicated to teaching, research and the generation, development and dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of society and the citizenship.

The University understands Research to mean the creation, development and critical updating of science, technology, art and culture. Its research activity is carried out in Departments, University Institutes and Research Centers and is funded both publicly and privately. The University is firmly committed to the economic and social development of its environment, and works ceaselessly to transfer knowledge and technology to society and its productive fabric.

It is also an EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) accredited Campus of International Excellence.

Cadence is a leading provider of EDA and semiconductor IP software. Its custom/analog tools help engineers design the transistors, standard cells, and IP blocks that make up SoCs.
